• hello friends..


    welcome to my personal blog - things i like - music, photos, architecture, design, & words - from my brain (and other people's brains).. all images here are taken by me (some awesome wedding pics from Alyda too), unless highfives are very gladly given to the author of some things i wish i had made/created/recorded/thought of/seen..

    ps.. I'm a wedding photographer.. so if you're planning to marry your lover, & you like what you see/feel here, you should contact us very soon.. we take limited bookings for wedding photography each year & we book out early.. (& i'm not just saying that to make you call us) :]

    here's a movie we made to introduce our little friends to the world.. ---->



tim & ruth’s noosa wedding..

22 January 2014

celebrating the relationship of tim & ruth (aka. #truth)..  the greatest hits..

ruth & tim – bestest friends ever // steven khalil dress of destiny // never-ending vista views // super fresh sea breeze in your face all day // amazing weather // 101 ultra-relaxed, party-hungry friends // a hidden disco inferno tent // closest neighbour is 500 metres away // & a big sign that says “holy sh¡tballs, today is going to be awesome”..

 

you do the math.

Boho's Best Bits – W/C 20th January – Boho Weddings™ - […] Tim and Ruth Noosa Wedding – From Todd Hunter McGaw […]

switch off..

20 January 2014

january is our solo, self-imposed retreat..

no weddings thank you..

stop, switch off.. centre myself again – not only in a zen/day spa/eco organic gluten-free yoga kind of way, but more of a feet on the ground kind of way… do some washing, wallpaper a wall, mow the lawn, go mountain biking with my buddies, visit friends, karaoke  - y’know, normal stuff.. i can still take photos, or not take photos..

if you never switch off.. how can you ever expect to switch on?

on the 1st of february we switch on.. game on.. & i can honestly say, i’m really looking forward to it.. looking forward to meeting up with our 2014 clients, and their friends.. i’m ready.. i even bought a new shirt..

so watch out 2014, i’m going to be all up in your grill.

sarah & jaran..

30 September 2013

mountain air… breathe it in deep my friends..

once there was an excellent couple called sarah & jaran & they were a-fixin’ to be married..  jaran, an engineer, had modified a ghostbusters ghost trap to capture & contain not ghosts, but the essence of all the things they loved.. they captured lots of lovely things – mountain air, fine blue skies, happiness, love, the smell of tasty tasty food, the atmosphere of the “one-legged duck” pub at springbrook mountain manor, some bright bright sunlight, the early evening chill of september spring, the sound of a trickling mountain stream – you get the idea   :)

they took what they had collected, shook it all about, & then they extracted the essence & injected it into every single little piece of their wedding plans..  the result was astounding..

dear sarah & jaran, a thousand thank yous for having us at your wedding.. we think you guys are excellent & we’d like to induct you both into the “todd & alyda – awesome people we have met in our lives – hall of fame!”  welcome aboard  :)

(ps.. S&J’s wedding was also featured recently on the super dooper wedding blog, junebug weddings – check it)..

Boho’s Best Bits – W/C 30th September – Boho Weddings™ - [...] Sarah and Jaran – From Todd Hunter McGaw [...]

the printed image..

23 September 2013

hello beautiful humans!

check out our excellent new style albums – they’re hot off the press..  lush matte finish art paper, with super fine detail in print.. these albums are the new baby from our dear friends at photo mounts & albums australia.. PMAA build all of our albums & have been with us from the beginning..  when you find a book-binder/album builder that is as passionate about making albums as i am about making wedding photos of destiny, therein lies a formula for making some pretty potent product… walter white is taking notes my friends!

their lab is the perfect balance between cutting edge technology & old-school, 4 tonne, 200 year old printing press.. the build quality of all PMAA’s albums are absolutely top shelf – right up there with my hendricks gin & my 82 yr old single malt scotch.. it’s fancypants.. these guys are dedicated to serving professional image makers & they appreciate the tactile experience and the value of the printed image.. so if you’re a client of ours, feel safe that your wedding album is in safe and creative hands, & if you’re a pro photographer, do yourself a solid & go say hi to michael & ioanna – they’re very friendly :)
